okness

You now have the opportunity to get rid of a bunch of unhelpful, painful and ineffective habits and replace them with one simple new habit: being OK.

What do I mean by “being OK”? I mean that you realize that you’re OK right now… there’s no problem. You’re OK with everything… everything that’s happened in your life, everything that is happening right now. You’re OK with the way things are in your life. You’re OK… there’s no drama, no unresolved issues, no victim story, etc. You’re simply OK and that’s how you are… even when things don’t go as planned, even when something upsetting happens, even when everything falls apart… you’re always OK.

I’m not saying you become a robot devoid of emotions. What I’m saying is that you’re always in touch with your internal sense of OK-ness… you can be sad at a given moment and still know that you’re completely 100% OK. You can be angry and still know that you’re 100% OK.

When you can live like this, you’ll find thatany bad mood or emotion flows through you rather quickly. Instead of sinking down deeper and deeper into a negative emotion and feeding into the mental drama, you will simply shift your attention to remembering that you’re OK, and in the grand scheme of things, there really is no problem.

The bottom line is this: Most people (men and women) spend their lives believing they have a problem (or multiple problems), then spend all their time and attention mindlessly chasing after solutions to their mind-created problems. They become completely self-absorbed and unable to be present to enjoy their moment-to-moment existence. Every moment of their life becomes a “means to an end,” in pursuit of the next solution to a problem.
